Do you have any favourite relaxing TV series or films?

Gardeners' World
George Clarke's Amazing Spaces
Michael Portillo - Railway Journeys
Abandoned Engineering

I try and avoid anything fly on the wall about police, doctors, ambulance paramedics, bailiffs etc. I also avoid anything about crime, particularly murder and the numerous programmes about WWII (except when it crops up in Abandoned Engineering).

The Repair Shop for me too.
I especially love the Teddy Ladies!

Hamza's Hidden Wild Isles on BBC iplayer.
Hamza Yassin is such a gentle knowledgeable man, and his films are lovely.

Practical Magic, love it, I've warched it loads of times.

Anything featuring Rick Stein or Lee Mack.

Anything to do with nature, villages, the sea, English countryside. Documentaries on BBC 4. Traditional British comedy series.

Lucy Worsley Investigates
Who Do You Think You Are?
Anything with David Olusoga
Mandy

Upstairs, downstairs. Just watched 3 episodes. I think I preferred Downton Abby
Nice to see Rose though.

I like dramas with beautiful houses, stunning scenery and stylish fashions of the time.
Hotel Paradiso should never have been scrapped but thankfully Signore Volpe is going to return for a third series.

On a slightly different note, I could watch Foyles War for ever.

I like true crime. Maybe not the norm for relaxing for most but that is my choice!

I love beyond paradise and death in paradise, but I always love heartbeat in the afternoon. I’ve recently semi retired and love the fact I can sit and knit and watch this pure pleasure for me.

Pride and Prejudice
Now Voyager
Brief Encounter
Poirot

Frasier if I need a good laugh - the characters are so familiar to me now.
Garden Rescue

I enjoy Alan Titchmarshe's Enjoy Your Weekend, He has some interesting guests and often has goats! I'm a sucker for the Joan Hickson Miss Marples and I'm watching Maigret and Doomwatch from the 60s and 70s on Talking Pictures. I recently watched Strangers On A Train and Dial M For Murder, and I couldn't believe how much they smoked! No one seemed to be able to move without lighting up a cigarette.

ER and Grays Anatomy
Escape to the Country
Location Location Location
Casualty ( have watched from the 1st episode)

Films I have watched loads of times
To Sir with Love
Pretty Woman
The Shawshank Redemption

I watch Wild Earth on Ch 91 or 2 ( it seems to vary). Live South African safari from the comfort of your own home. Does show kills etc sometimes but so do David Attenborough programmes sometimes.

I love any wildlife documentaries, very relaxing, especially Springwatch. And the documentaries by Ben Fogle about people living alternative lives in various parts of the world.

Easy to dip in and out is Robson Green's weekend escapes, most episodes are gentle, fun and interesting.

I never watched it, but The darling buds of May was popular as a relaxing watch.

Beyond Paradise has done about 30 episodes so far?
Death in Paradise. About 150?
I watch them all.
There is an Australian version - 16 episodes so far?[prob my favorite].
And on a random channel there is a New Zealand version. 30 episodes? Not sure if part of the same company or franchise or not.

Beyond Paradise which I much prefer to the original Death in Paradise.
Also Doc Marten and Call the Midwife.

I only recently discovered Beyond Paradise so I’ve got several series to watch. Is Doc Marten on catchup? For some reason, even though I love anything about Cornwall, having lived there in my late teens I’ve never really watched it. There’s a new American version of Doc Marten which, unlike most American versions of much loved series is actually supposed to be very good. Like Fairislecable I, too am avoiding the news.

Oh sod!
Countryfile!

Couneryfile used to be my favourite.

My comfort television is Keeping Up Appearances. It makes me laugh however often I watch it, and laughing is relaxing.

The recent series of 'Amandaland'. The characters of Amanda and her sidekick Anne are a real Chalk'n'Cheese couple which makes it very compulsive.

I like most murder/mysteries
